Space
"Stars and suns enamored
pulsate and throb in space
and kiss each other in waves of light;
atoms cold embrace and cling together;
structures inanimate affiliate with
and attract inanimate structures;
bodies dead to other noble passions
are not dead to love.”
- Etidorhpa, John Uri Lloyd's Etidorhpa
